4. Mailing Lists & GDPR
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all email addresses used for campaigns have been collected and processed lawfully and in accordance with GDPR and other applicable data protection legislation.
We reserve the right to refuse to send campaigns where we believe mailing list practices may not comply with applicable laws or industry standards.
Subscriber data remains the property of the client. Upon termination of the service, subscriber data can be exported and supplied to the client on request. Data will be removed from ClickAndSend systems after an appropriate retention period unless otherwise required for legal, accounting or compliance purposes.
5. Email Template Development
Email newsletters may display differently across email clients, devices and platforms. We use industry-standard design and coding practices but cannot guarantee identical appearance in every email environment.
Some display issues may be beyond our control and may require redesign, additional development work or acceptance that a graceful fail is the best we can achieve in some circumstances.
6. Newsletter Approval
You are responsible for carefully reviewing and approving all newsletters before sending. Approval constitutes acceptance of the final version.
Newsletter revisions include up to two rounds of changes, totaling no more than one hour of revision time unless otherwise agreed. Additional revisions may incur additional charges.
7. Errors & Omissions
It is your responsibility to check all proofs and content for accuracy including spelling, links, dates, pricing and technical information.
ClickAndSend shall not be liable for errors or omissions in approved materials. Submission of files, instructions or approvals by email constitutes approval for publication or sending.
8. Campaign Sending & Deliverability
Campaigns are sent based on your instructions.
Deliverability, inbox placement, open rates, click rates and campaign performance are affected by many factors beyond our control including:
- Mailing list quality
- Sender reputation
- Spam filtering systems
- Email content
- Recipient engagement
- Third-party platform policies
No guarantee is made regarding campaign performance or results.
9. Website & Integration Services
Where services involve websites or third-party platforms, compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Additional software, plugins or services may be required and may incur additional fees.
We do not guarantee that software issues, bugs or conflicts can be fully resolved. Future compatibility with third-party software, plugins, themes or platforms cannot be guaranteed.

Scheduled work constitutes a booking of time.
Where work is cancelled or postponed at short notice, a cancellation fee equivalent to one day’s work may apply.
Unused newsletter sends or allocations do not roll over unless expressly agreed.
No refunds are provided for unused pre-paid services.
